The Government believes that PE and sport in schools, both within and beyond the curriculum, can improve:
- Pupil concentration, commitment and self-esteem; leading to higher attendance and better behaviour and attainment.
- Fitness levels; active children are less likely to be obese and more likely to pursue sporting activities as adults.
- Success in international competition by ensuring talented young sportspeople have a clear pathway to elite sport and competition whatever their circumstances. ....More
